Subject: Halo 2 remake on the way?

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

I'd love it if they redid the campaign. Halo 2 was a fantastic story, the best in the series, but it just looked shoddy and rushed.

But if you put that story with the amazing artwork and graphical ability of the Halo 4/Reach engine, it would be the prettiest and best told story of the entire series.

I would love multiplayer, but my guess is that if the remake happens at all, they'll do it similarly to CEA, and just select a few of the most popular maps, and make them part of the Halo 4 (or whatever Halo game is out at the time) multiplayer experience.

That sucks. Halo 2 is my favorite Halo game, it has the best campaign, best maps, best weapons, best everything.

B is a poor excuse. Perfect Dark for N64 didn't have online at all, and yet the remake have smooth online gameplay on the 360.
I think 343 studios where either lazy or under a too tight schedule.


Haha I agree but also think....what else does Rare have to do anymore? Have they done much besides rereleasing their back catalog on xbox? Banjo Nuts and bolts was fun..but besides running kinect projects for microsoft they really don't do too much these days so adding online mp for perfect dark probably gave them something to do...rumor is that they're working on a new shooter.....meh lol we'll see....

Honestly dude, I enjoyed the Halo CE remake but from my point of view if they remake Halo 2 people will start to see 343 as a company that uses Halo to make money like the CoD companies.

There is only one possible way mp can be brought back without 'splitting the fanbase', which is in itself a terrible excuse because there is no cohesion (unless you count the people that blindly move on with each game). Each Halo games gains it's own followers. I myself am loyal to CE first and foremost.

If 'splitting the fanbase' is still being considered by 343 (major facepalm), then H2's mp would have to be offline and system link for it to be brought back. Hopefully that is the case (I'll take my chances with inaccurate graphics overlay) because I'd rather not put up with a copy mp that has limited options...

My first experience of Headlong was on Anniversary. It was not pleasant. Mines? Who the heck places mines on maps? I can see that being in a custom map but really now, in the default map? I was also disappointed with Anniversary Timberland.

CE and H2's mp deserves better than small scale or limited (didn't Headlong have some dynamic stuff?) maps or to be degraded by extra noise and clutter.

They've been doing that from the start.

Isn't that why 343 was made in the first place? For microsoft to continue making halo games after bungie finished? Isn't their primary and only focus the Halo series..........derp?

Hopefully no remake or remaster. Halo 2 is a terribad game for kids who can't aim. Worst in the series. Halo 2 should just be remembered for being overrated and outdated and dead. Like how it's final days were. They had what...200 online members/24 hours until microsoft handed out free live to play the game.

I'd play it.

I want the elites to be reach style like in CEA:)
Also, I don't like how the halo 1 multiplayer was taken out, I don't want that to happen to this.
And I want to scan things again.

The Halo series doesn't need any more games. Halo 3 brought closure. ODST was good, and all, but wasn't necessary. I personally thought the Reach campaign was good, but again, unnecessary. Microsoft is greedy, and won't let go with something that makes them money. I'd rather let Halo die with dignity.

I have mixed feelings about this. If pulled off correctly, then yes, I want one.
It must have its own multiplayer. CEA had the Reach multiplayer, which was somewhat annoying, and Halo 2 was such an amazing game because it was tailored so well for multiplayer. It must be kept as such, lest the whole appeal of a remake be destroyed. I didn't play online a whole lot (not even on my own account), but system link parties were some of the best fun I've had in my life. Not to trash the new multiplayer elements (with loadouts and such, I actually love these additions), but they shouldn't be included. Keep the original Halo 2 balance and feel.
Some glitches, like super jumps, should be kept. These were truly part of the entertainment experience.

The ONLY thing they should "remake" is its compatibility with Xbox Live.

It's not possible to brink back the same experience. Back then Halo 2 was new and uncharted, the experience will only be with us in memory.

Even so, yes i do want it back, because Halo 2 is the one with the best multiplayer. Halo games have changed over time, taken new steps. Each time it adding more unnecessary complexity in form of gadgets, weapons etc. And the maps got progressively worse, and bigger. All my friends have lost interested in the Halo games, because it's just not the multiplayer experience it used to be: simple, but with depth.

So yeah, i do want it back and i don't want the to change anything except maybe add some Hi-ress textures (like the perfect Dark remake). Online coop wouldn't hurt either of course, and i want that badly too.


So true friend, so true.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

Honestly, I think they could do something with a 2 remake. I mean, they could give us a menu for the skulls! Awesome!

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

If there is ever a remake, I hope they leave the skulls exactly the same. I'd also like to see a LASO (Solo or co-op) achievement. It would probably be one of the toughest acheievemts to get on the Xbox 360. Getting achievements on Halo games has always been too easy, this would be a nice change.

Oh, you bet! I definitely want the skulls the same. I miss when you had to actually challenge yourself to get them on Legendary, and they were also pretty hard to reach themselves. All games after 2 had the skulls not really out of the way and really easy to find. I want them exactly the same, but it would be insanely nice to have a menu for them.
